lol, maybe although snow has one now and I wouldn't want to look like I'm trying to compete or something so I'll just talk strat in here!
I've actually been doing well since I came back to poker and I think it's because I have a really good diciplined mindset right now. I have a lot of patience and I think a lot of stuff through, I mean I did befor but now I feel like I'm on a different level. Even when it was later in the mtts I won recently I did well stealing and since I got 1st in both I feel like I played the Final tables to the "T" and am getting less and less nervous and uncomfortable at them so I make good calls and catch bluffs/make good bluffs.
I also was talking to Pooffy about how important it is to become aggressive and bully while getting in the money/bubble and that you have to continue to stay aggressive in order to beat the late part of the mtt, which many people get scared and blind down because they don't make moves. I wouldn't mind talking strat about that or sweating someone in the concept. Every mtt I won a good amountof money in was done by being aggressive enough to small ball my through the late stages to the final table by stealing in the right spots by reading my opponents and knowing the right time to do it.

I would love to sweat some tournies with you. I have been thinking for a while now of having 4 or 5 players, ala the Hendon Mob that all we do is talk strategy, review hand histories etc...
I really want to take my MTT game to the next level and I think this would be good for all involved.

Live and online, my goal for November is to work on my 'blow ups'. For example:
I was playing in my local 25+5 tournament (usually 60 people or so) and I'm just straight rolling people all night. Starting stack of 5000, and after 5-6 levels I'm sitting in probably 3-4th place with 23k or so.
On my BB I get dealt AKs (blinds are 500/1000 with 100 ante). 2 people call, SB folds, and look at the 4000 or so in the pot and raise it up to 2200. UTG+2 shoves over top with another ~10k. I sit and think about it, knowing he probably has a high PP, but end up making the call, and sure enough he flips over aces. Had I folded that hand, I would have easily made the final table, as there were only 13 people left at this point.
Just seems like I've been going deep very often live/online recently, only to make some silly mental error that costs me very big.

I would really enjoy reading your strategy thread if you would do one.
It would really be nice to have a thread to refer to for your thoughts.
I definately dont feel I am competeing with you and I enjoy your post but as with others its hard to get a good grasp of someones overall strategy when post are spread out amoung many threads and not done in any particular order.
I really hope you do a thread and I will watch for it!

I'm having quite similar experiences these days (end game aggression).
After having moved to the limit/pl micros during the week (only wanted the FTP for the iron man and only had appr. 1h to play every day) -
I felt refreshed and ready for a few MTTs on the weekend.
Even entered a donkament FR by a missclick (and won it lol)....
Had a 2$ Mtt FT, too and made 7th, JJ<99 aipf..... ty dealer :boxing:
here's the last days overview:

put some money into UltimateBet last week, and have been playing dirt-cheap mtts/rebuys there, 25c up to $2 buy-ins, been having a good run there. Really like UB, seems like there's not so many badbeats/suckouts, and the players are friendly.
Played a 10000 player freeroll last night on FT, alongside a couple of cheap mtts so I wouldnt get bored, finished in the top 250 for entry into the weekly freeroll, which was nice, cashed in the 2 mtts as well.
Love mtts/sngs, but also trying to clear bonuses at ft, so hitting up cash tables and doing ok at the mo.
Nice graph, from virginpoker. withdrew most of my roll from there, but decided to keep a bit there for the 10c rebuy and 1 euro mtts(usually 30-50 players). Been cashing regularly which has allowed me to cash out more:

Very Nice Duff...Nice return
I stepped out side of my comfort zone last night and played a $30.00 mtt at doyles and did cash for $120.OO ISH.
Didn't feel out of place and knew IMO I was way better player than so many.
I do have to move up

My only advice would be not to move up until you have the bankroll. I have finally, after numerours bustos, stuck to a BRM plan that I could follow and be profitable at.
Now that I have a decent roll, I'm finding I am being even more cautious with it. Not buying into even a turbo sng with more than 2% of it. And I haven't moved past the $11 normal sngs yet.
There are no short cuts in this game. You may get lucky but if you play over your bankroll it will catch up with you.

Came second in a $2 tourney on tilt last night for $300. Johnnybmoto railed mw which helped. Went into heads-up with a 2-1 lead but he started beating me and I panicked and spewed. My first big cash/final table so i'm still buzzing.
I'm actually a cash player mostly but I wasn't having a good day and entered a tourney to donk it up and make myself feel better. Needless to say I did.
